I have a 2-7 Revo as well. Just waiting for a lightweight 308 to come back from the blacksmith to put it on. I like it.

I have a Redfield Revolution 2-7x33 with the Accurange reticle. It's a fantastic scope, and slightly brighter than a Leupold VX2 2-7x33 LRD I have of similar age.
The Redfield will be going on a 308 Utility Rifle I'll be building.

I have not been one to twist turrets so when a Montana relative came to our deer camp in the Missouri Breaks with a Redfield 2-7x33 Accu-Range scope on a.280 Remington and killed a huge buck at 425 yards with it, I took notice. Later, I put one on a .257 Roberts and used it on two Antelope hunts with success.
Never shot a deer with a Roberts in Michigan so took it first chance I got. Found out the Accu-Range reticle was too busy for me hunting in the timber and brush at close range. Great in open country.

I have Redfield Revolution 2-7 scopes on my Marlin 35 Rem and Howa Mini 7.62x39. They are tough scopes with very forgiving eye relief and plenty bright for my uses. Both of mine have the wide duplex which many here hate, but works just fine for me. I wish I had bought more while they were still being made.
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

Lots of years ago I bought a 15-60x Redfield spotting scope and it is as good today as it ever was. Its pretty hard to wreck something just by looking through it. Admittedly it gets used a lot to see if the guy in the boat across the lake is using a Rapala or a Mepps spinner bait, but it still sees bullet holes just fine too. My early experience with their scopes hasn’t been all that rewarding though.
My other auto is a .45
